Delays

http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/117918324.htmlInquirer Editorial: Why did it take so long?

It was good to see the Archdiocese of Philadelphia place 21 priests on leave because of allegations that they sexually abused minors. But it is disappointing that the church is only now taking these appropriate steps for all the right reasons.

That makes it hard to believe church officials can be trusted in the future to do the right thing when it comes to protecting children and rooting out predator priests. After all, the decades-long record in Philadelphia and other dioceses has been one of ignore, defend, cover up, and move problem priests from parish to parish.

One of the priests whom the archdiocese suspended last week was first accused of repeatedly molesting a 16-year-old boy in 1976.

That's 35 long years ago.

One point that Cardinal Justin Rigali certainly did get right last week was when he said: "I know that, for many people, their trust in the church has been shaken."

More accurately, trust in the leaders of the church at the highest levels has been crippled. That is due to their repeatedly turning a blind eye and the cover-ups of criminal acts, including the rapes of young boys. To some extent, their actions are as egregious as the actual abuse of the children by predatory priests.

They have certainly undermined the good work done by the majority of faithful priests. And it has left many Catholics hurt and angry. As a result, some followers have left the church.

It is clear that the archdiocese removed the 21 priests only in response to a Philadelphia grand jury report released last month - the second one within a few years - which found 37 local priests were serving in ministry despite accusations of questionable behavior.

Rigali's initial tortured response attempted to downplay the report's findings: "I assure all the faithful that there are no archdiocesan priests in ministry today who have an admitted or established allegation of sexual abuse of a minor against them."

It is obvious now, to Catholics and others alike, that when it comes to the handling of sexual abuse of minors by priests, Rigali and other church leaders for years have been economical with the truth.

The latest step of suspending the 21 priests is welcome, but it comes very late. If anything, it demonstrates the need for legislation that further enables civil lawsuits for past abuse and the prosecution of older crimes.

About This Blog

For over forty years, delusional and lying Christians have accused Satanists of committing all manner of atrocities toward children without any evidence. This is ironic considering the pervasive occurrence of prolonged systematic child abuse among the various Christian churches and denominations, and among others abusing positions of trust in the Jewish and Islamic Synagogues and Mosques.

Enough hypocrisy. We all know who the sick, deranged child abusers really are: the sanctimonious frauds of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic traditions.

In fact, you could go so far as to say that child abuse IS a Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition!

STOP THE MADNESS.

The 9th Satanic Rule of the Earth

"Do not harm little children."--Anton Szandor LaVeyFounder of The Church of Satan

From THE SATANIC BIBLE

"Under NO circumstances would a Satanist sacrifice any animal or baby! For centuries, propagandists of the right-hand path have been prattling over the supposed sacrifices of small children and voluptuous maidens at the hands of diabolists. It would be thought that anyone reading or hearing of these heinous accounts would immediately question their authenticity, taking into consideration the biased sources of the stories. On the contrary, as with all "holy" lies which are accepted without reservation, this assumed modus operandi of the Satanists persists to this day!

There are sound and logical reasons why the Satanists could not perform such sacrifices. Man, the animal, is the godhead to the Satanist. The purest form of carnal existence reposes in the bodies of animals and human children who have not grown old enough to deny themselves their natural desires. They can perceive things that the average adult human can never hope to.

Therefore, the Satanist holds these beings in a sacred regard, knowing he can learn much from these natural magicians of the world."
